A GENERATIVE DRAWING INSTRUMENT

What FILIGRANA creates

FILIGRANA is a free, open-source instrument that turns drawings into gentle, evolving music in your browser. Three independent voices wander over the lines, turning each image into a sound world that can be listened to, shaped, and rendered.

How it works

The instrument finds ink, traces it into connected paths, and follows their intersections. Line length shapes resonance and pitch; your chosen instruments, scale, and octave color the result. Each traveller moves independently, so the drawing can unfold differently with every journey.

What you can use it for

Listen to sketches in a new way, create ambient compositions, or make sound for installations, films, and quiet spaces. Adjust the voices and effects, then render an MP3, high-resolution WAV, or video with sound.
